The United States is gearing up its propaganda against China. The US government and media are hyping the idea that Beijing is enhancing espionage and hacking operations in the West.

Will these schemes generate the desired effects? Is China destined to lose this propaganda campaign?

What chain effects will it cause if DJI loses the case? And what implications does DJI’s experience have for other companies?
